Deadpool & Wolverine Sets R-Rated Box Office Record

Deadpool & Wolverine has achieved remarkable box office success, grossing $824 million and becoming the most successful R-rated film in the U.S., surpassing The Passion of the Christ. The film not only stands out for its financial performance but also features Emma Corrin as the villain Cassandra Nova, who expressed mixed feelings about a scene where her character kills Human Torch, leading to a moment of guilt during the premiere. Critics have praised the film for its humor, character chemistry, and straightforward storytelling, contrasting it with recent Marvel offerings. Notably, the film marks the first time Wolverine dons his iconic mask, a long-awaited moment for fans. Despite the film's success, there are speculations on whether it can reach the billion-dollar mark, which would place it alongside other top-grossing films of the year. The film's unique portrayal of Wolverine, including a brief appearance of a 'comic accurate' shorter version, has delighted fans seeking faithful adaptations.
